In this episode of The Holy Confident Birth Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Stuart Fischbein—community obstetrician, breech and twin birth specialist, and co-host of the Birthing Instincts podcast—for an honest conversation about breech and twin pregnancies.

So many women are told they are automatically “high risk” when they discover their baby is breech or they’re expecting twins—often without clear explanations or real options. Dr. Stu breaks down why that label is often misleading, how fear-based counseling shapes birth decisions, and what women deserve to know to make truly informed choices.

We talk through the real risks and benefits of vaginal breech and twin birth, why these skills have largely disappeared from hospital obstetrics, and how confidence, education, and provider skill play a critical role in birth outcomes.

This episode is essential listening for any woman navigating a breech or twin pregnancy—or anyone who wants a deeper understanding of informed consent and autonomy in birth.
